Guy Grossi, celebrated Italian chef known for Melbourne restaurants Grossi Florentino, Ombra and Arlechin, as well as Perth success, Garum, shares his love for the fresh and romantic cucina and culture of the Amalfi coast with new Brisbane restaurant.
Settimo, within The Westin Brisbane, located in the heart of the CBD will be a gathering place for lovers of authentic Italian flavours enjoyed with relaxed sophistication.
The Grossi family is a genuine family of restaurateurs with a generational commitment to the industry and its people. Settimo is now seeking creative people with a passion to develop and grow within the exciting hospitality world under the guidance and influence of Grossi and The Westin Brisbane.
Key roles will have the opportunity to experience an exchange program in Melbourne working directly under Guy's mentorship.
“I am truly delighted to be bringing a new Grossi restaurant what is already such an exciting market for hospitality in Brisbane. Working with The Westin Brisbane to bring to life a playful, Amalfi-inspired restaurant, in the heart of the city.” commented Guy. “My team is the most important element of any venue and I'm looking forward to welcoming incredible new talent into the Grossi family”.
Recognising the evolved Brisbane market and it's rapidly growing presence in the Australian dining scene, Grossi himself has dubbed Settimo as the Sophia Loren of his restaurant creations. Vibrant, playful and sophisticated, Settimo's Amalfi Coast atmosphere will be perfectly represented through Brisbane's sunny, coastal energy.
Set to be another celebrated collaboration between Grossi and The Westin, Settimo aims to compliment the already established world-class dining scene Brisbane CBD has to offer.
Diners will be made to feel as if they've been transported to Positano, whilst experiencing a sensory journey in each part of the restaurant. From light to moody, each detail is pointed to the Amalfi Coast with artisan craftsmanship.
Settimo will strive to exhibit quality produce sourced from international and local producers. With each ingredient representing the very best of the Amalfi Coast: whether that's flavours, traditions, or seasonality of produce. Expect a menu that is equally spontaneous as it is timeless, with signature dishes to mainstay plates and a wine list that is both easy and indulgent.
“We're thrilled to continue building on the wonderful partnership between The Westin and Guy Grossi. Garum at The Westin Perth has showcased incredible success and we're looking forward to bringing this collaboration to Brisbane's burgeoning world-class dining scene.” said Brad Mercer, General Manager of The Westin Brisbane. “This celebrated partnership will also bring new and exciting jobs to the city, providing an opportunity to grow within both the Grossi and Westin families.”
Grossi has invigorated genuine, passionate team members who have succeeded within the hospitality industry becoming future leaders and restaurateurs. With a nurturing and balanced environment at each workplace, the team are devoted about facilitating others to achieve their ideal pathway.
Guy aims to continue this legacy at Settimo, setting out on the search for a team that embodies 'sprezzatura', the Italian notion of considered nonchalance, to bring the full Settimo experience to life.
Experience the flavours of the Amalfi Coast once the doors open at Settimo in Spring/Summer 2022.
